College football winners, losers in Week 10: Florida can't 'catch' a break

Miami Hurricanes lost 26-20 in overtime to SMU, marking a pattern of struggles in November under coach Mario Cristobal, with a 4-11 record in November and December. An unnecessary roughness penalty contributed to the loss, complicating Miami's path to the ACC championship and impacting their College Football Playoff prospects. Miami stands at 6-2 overall and 2-2 in the ACC.

Florida Gators suffered a narrow 24-20 defeat against No. 5 Georgia due to critical fourth-quarter plays, including a failed fourth-and-1 attempt and an overturned 50-yard pass. The loss occurred despite a competitive performance, highlighting the Gators' missed opportunities in a key rivalry game.

Ohio State solidified its No. 1 AP poll ranking with a 38-14 victory over Penn State. The win may influence the College Football Playoff rankings, as the Buckeyes demonstrated strong performance offensively and defensively, asserting their status as a national title contender.
